Solma draws inspiration from the hypnotic pulse of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass music, weaving these influences into his own psychedelic sound. As the Paris-based producer and co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, he has cultivated a signature style defined by meticulous sound design that fluidly crosses genre boundaries and rates.

"Entrusting Flame" is a passage of eighteen embers, each one dissolving into smoke, residue, or silence. Ambient sighs, scorched drones, metallic husks, and unruly noise form a shifting architecture - part ruin, part beacon. Through Flummoxed, the fire is not contained but surrendered, it's glow uncertain, it's shape unreadable. What burns here does not end; it mutates and reveals.

"Dsic" marks the return of Aa Sudd on Optic Portal, now with his debut album. Recorded between 2020 and 2024, this album brings together four years of sound research. Glitch fragments, stretched recordings, and physical modeling collide in tracks that resist fixed form. Each piece is distinct, yet tied together by a single process: resampling, reshaping audio until it becomes something unrecognizable, alive.

Carving vast chasms of space with exacting sound design and deadly poise, @katatonicsilentio returns to the Mantis series for another round of highly detailed leftfield techno exploration.

The Turin based sound artist continues to plot her own path through contemporary electronic music, taking cues from soundsystem pressure and dubwise minimalism as much as glitchy experimentation and the meditative repetition of techno. While her output across many different labels can reach to noisy extremes and beatless atmospheres, on her latest for Mantis the Italian artist zeroes in on a hypnotic, mysterious sound cast in the icy moods of late 90s tech step and early dubstep. At all times she finds space for surprise interference even in the most austere of situations, creating a palpable tension that amplifies the deep dancefloor potential of her music and moulding powerful physicality out of subtle elements.

AliXx @ GIMIC - 17 October 2025

ILAY, a young sound artist behind the alias ILAYRUNI, works at the crossroads of electronic music and percussive instruments. Merging these two worlds, he explores the possibility of rhythm and sound.
Growing up in a family that had a strong bond with the electronic music scene, ILAY had access to a wide range of styles and sounds, giving him the chance to wander and discover all types of frequencies and feelings.
Traveling through a wide range of styles during his sets and productions, he seeks highly percussive rhythmic.

#54 - ILAYRUNI - Live

✧ @sleepexchange folds dream logic into pulse, tracing the outlines of rhythm as percussive ghosts and submerged resonances braid themselves into primal motion — suspended in a space that is neither club nor cosmos ✧

Toxido Mask unveils her first ambient album Spirit Waters on Pregnant Void, a creation born from a long, transformative journey.  The eight-track collection—including six originals and two remixes by Ina Kacz and Nadia Struiwigh—emerged in quiet hours of research, reflection, and deep listening to the currents within and without. Each track draws inspiration from the realms of myth and spirit, where water is not merely an element but a living presence, carrying memory, mystery, and the possibility of healing.

From the shimmering guardianship of the “Naiads” and the ethereal songs of the “Undines” to the silent guidance of spirit allies and the echo of the imagined “Minonohashi”, these compositions flow like secret rivers beneath the surface of consciousness. Spirit Waters is a tribute to water’s power to soothe, reveal, and transform—a space where sound becomes both a mirror and a sanctuary.

Nadia Struiwigh’s Dub remix of “Naiads” brings energy and depth, while Ina Kacz’s reinterpretation of “Spirit Guide” layers whispering vocals and delicate rhythms, creating a fragile yet emotional atmosphere. Together, the remixes complement the originals, completing the circle of Toxido Mask’s vision.

May Spirit Waters offer listeners a place to drift, to dream, and to reconnect with the luminous depths within themselves.

Special thanks and gratitude to Nadia Struiwigh and Ina Kacz for bringing new life and vision to the album through their remixes, and to Sarah Martinus' Non Dual & Kinship research, whose words inspired the title Spirit Waters.
